About Maw Sit Sit: Mined near the famous Imperial Jade mines of Northern Myanmar, Maw Sit Sit was originally believed to be a form of jade until famed gemologist Gubelin correctly identified it. The name Maw Sit Sit was given by the locals of the region and refers to the Nahshawa and Tawmaw area where it is found. This chromium-rich metamorphic stone has a complex composition, but is primarily composed of Kosmochlor (ureyite) with varying amounts and combinations of minerals, namely from the amphibole, chlorite, and feldspar mineral groups. It is a natural stone with no known treatments. The chemical composition of Maw Sit Sit varies with mineral content though color is the result of the element chromium. Maw Sit Sit is rated 6 on the Mohs scale with a good toughness rating so it stands up well to daily wear, just like jade. It is a relatively rare stone and is not commercially available in large quantities.

To care for your plated jewelry items:
Chrome diopside, also called Russian diopside, offers an intense forest green color. Because it is the most affordable gemstone with a pure, rich green color, many jewelry designers predict chrome diopside will be the world’s leading emerald substitute by the end of the decade. It is mostly available in smaller sizes, with the rare larger sizes becoming much more expensive and too dark. A 26.17ct oval cut chrome diopside may be the largest known example of the faceted stone, but there is also a 25.33ct stone that is brighter and more intense in color.
Chrome diopside is relatively soft, with a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs Scale. Mostly mined in Yakutia and Siberia, the liberalization of the economy of the former Soviet Union has made chrome diopside more available, and more popular, than ever before.
Vermeil Plating: Pronounced “vermay,” vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Over time, vermeil will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
